The legislature appropriates the dollars from the Legacy Arts and Culture Fund to the Minnesota State Arts Board, Regional Arts Councils, Minnesota Historical Society and other entities to provide access to the arts and culture for all Minnesotans. “Creative Minnesota’s new 2019 report is about Minnesota’s arts and creative sector. It includes stateWide, regional and local looks at nonprofit arts and culture organizations, their audiences, artists and creative Workers. This year it also looks at the availability of arts education in Minnesota schools,” said SMith. “We also include the results of fifteen local studies that show substantial economic iMpact from the nonprofit arts and culture sector in every corner of the state, including $4.9 million in the City of Eagan, $2.4 million in the City of Hastings, 11 million in the City of Hopkins, $4 million in the Maple Grove Area, $541 million in the City of Minneapolis, and $1.5 million in the City St.

The state 'e two largest schools (Kansas University at Lawrence and Kansas State University at Manhattan) tried unsuccessfully for ~^ny years to gain legislative funds to start a state-wide ETV net- work. This thesis is the story of efforts for a thirty-six yeai period to establish educational television in a state that is now surrounded by large state-wide ETV systems. The efforts of the state schools failed in the Legislature, and Washburn Uni- versity (a small municipal university in Topeka , Kansas) even- tually becaae the operator of the only Kansas ETV station broadcasting in June, 1°68. This study is significant because of the existence of elaborate ETV stations and micro-wave systems in bordering states. Has Kansas lagged behind neighborning states in the area of school support of audio-visual devices? Information for this study was obtained from flies at: Kansas State Uni- versity, Washburn University, KTWU TV station, and WIBW-AM-FM and TV stations 111 TABLE OF CONTENTS PAGE CHAPTER I: THE EARLY YEARS Experimental Television at Ksnsas 3tate College Early Efforts for Channel Allocations Kansas University Medical Center Uses Television Closed Circuit TV Proposals and Equipment Start ETV CHAPTER II: THE SECOND ERA OF ETV IN KANSAS 11 Kansas State Used Television Equipment on the Cfmpus Five St?;te Schools Band Together for ETV The Durwood Case Citizens Committee on ETV Formed CHAPTER III: THE THIRD EPA.
